Deck Dillema

Most homeowner wonder about adding, repairing, replacing and maintenance of a deck. Is it worth to have one? Is it worth to replace or fix a old, pealing and warped planks in an existing one? Decks DO add value to the exterior appeal of the property and an addition of a new deck can expand the outdoor living space (and increase the house value.) When adding a wood deck at a cost of $10.350, homeowners can expect to recover up to 70% of their investment while composite decks turn back about 62.8% investment according to Hanley Wood's Remodeling magazine. However, addition of a new deck may come with an increase in rates for homeowner's insurance and property taxes.

Addition of a new deck can seriously break the bank depending on the design, size and, sadly, time of the year when contractors are really busy and labor prices go up. Repair of an existing deck may be just as big of a pain. Materials are the deciding factor on future maintenance and repairs.
